Edward Carr

Edward Carr was a British historian and journalist known for his influential work on the philosophy of history and international relations. He emphasized the subjective nature of historical interpretation, arguing that history is shaped by the perspectives and biases of those who write it. Carr is perhaps best known for his book "What Is History?", where he explores how history is constructed and understood. He believed that history is an ongoing dialogue between the past and present, highlighting the importance of context and the role of the historian in interpreting events. His ideas continue to impact historical scholarship today.
